Why won't Supybot respond to private messages?
Document Actions
The most likely cause is that you are running your bot on the Freenode network. Around Sept. 2005, Freenode enabled a default policy[1] that prevents disallows users from messaging other users unless they are registered with NickServ. So, the reason you aren't seeing a response from your Supybot is:
- Your Supybot is not registered with NickServ and
- You haven't registered with NickServ
- or
- You have registered with NickServ but you haven't allowed unregistered users to message you[2]
